Book excerpt: Come along with me and explore the lives of Archimedes, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, Ctesibius, Heron of Alexandria, Stefan Banic, Chiune Sugihara, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett… twelve men who've greatly influenced society. Take Archimedes, so engrossed in his own thoughts, he'd be found illustrating mathematical diagrams on whatever surface he had access to… his own skin at times. One version of his life story is that he was killed by a Roman soldier while doing just that, telling him "Don't disturb my circles." Among other things, he's renowned for "Archimedes' Principle," which states that when an object is placed in a fluid, it displaces liquid equal to the weight of object. Let's not forget him running naked shouting, "Eureka!" Meaning, "I have found it" in Greek. Don't you wish you could've caught a sight of that? …and Japanese consul Chiune Sugihara who saved the lives of thousands of Jews fleeing the Nazis by issuing transit visas during World War I even after his superior, Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsouka in Tokyo pretty much said, "No, you're not." There's also Stefan Banic, Garrett Augustus Morgan… both men invented solutions in response to witnessing accidents which cost the loss of life. Banic witnessed a plane crash which killed the pilot and in response, patented an early parachute (No. 1,108,484)… his background is that of a coal miner. Garrett Morgan witnessed an accident at an intersection involving a horse carriage and an automobile in the 1920s which killed the passenger. One of his inventions was the three-way traffic signal. What life choices led them to be so extraordinary… what can we learn from them?
